So I was asked some time ago to fix up a stick that had been carved in the shape of a Viking. There was not enough room to do any modifications that would make it look acceptable to me. So I cut the head off drilled a hole for a large dowel to epoxy a piece of basswood to the existing stick with a Butternut spacer between them. The horns and the helmet rivets are Butternut. The horns were reinforced with superglue. I added a lanyard with a blood knot for the stick holder to hang on to. Of course no stick would be complete without a brass and stainless steel hiking tip to keep it protected from the rough trail. There is also an interchangeable rubber tip for when you want to do some mall adventures! The lower half of the stick is Diamond Willow.
